So an interesting thing is, despite knowing for centuries that Groudon and Kyogre existed, scientists never really took them into account in their calculations. There's plenty of historical evidence to back up their existence, everything from Sky Pillar to written records from the time of Sir Aaron, but people not from Hoenn didn't really seriously take this into consideration cause they didn't have context. It's a lot easier to dismiss something as nothing more than the mad ramblings of a king or the interpretation of a normal phenomenon through a supernatural lens when you're not from that region.

But now that they broke free again and in order to deny their existence you'd have to be willfully ignorant, so many things have to be rewritten. The very premise of Groudon and Kyogre's existence overturned so many scientific papers. Years worth of research needs to be re-evaluated and redone because it turns out, yeah, we were right, the gods are fucking with out weather!

Some researchers have recently proposed that the Unovan paleoflooding event ca 3000 years ago was caused by an awakening of Kyogre! Although other researchers think there's insufficient evidence of contemporaneous flooding elsewhere in the world. It's a major point of contention in the Unovan archaeology scene right now.

Hi! You offered so uhhh

My biggest problem right now is the first two gyms, the so called “beginner” ones, are bug and grass. I only have my bounsweet and azumarill. And I know they could do it, eventually, but I also don’t want to push them too hard. Like, Lapis (azumarill) could probably take on the bug gym but she’s still getting back in the swing of battling after becoming disabled. And she’s still learning signs for battles. So it’s not fair to expect her to take on three bug types (well. Ones a normal type terastalizes into bug) in a row, and Bowsette can’t support very well because. Grass type. So I called the battle off when lapis was getting overwhelmed. But also the other “beginner” gym is grass type and neither lapis or Bowsette can do much there.

I’ve tried catching a third Pokémon to add to the team but… I haven’t been able to.

Nods nods nods. I am taking notes yes. I’ll work with lapis on the defense curl and rollout thing! She actually does already know rollout, and I had tried with it, but the moments when she didn’t hit, that’s what led to loss, because while she can take hits decently well, she can’t take them THAT well, and the extra defense will definitely help when like, rollout misses or something.

I’ll have to look around to see if I can find a wide lens that’s a decent price but also not bad…

And… yeah I probably will leave the grass gym for now. I saw my brother take him on and his last Pokémon was a rock type terastalizes to be grass… but it still had rock type moves. So just making sure my next mon is super effective against grass won’t work because rock is good against them. Maybe once Bowsette evolves, since rock won’t be super strong but neither will grass like it would against lapis? I think there’s an ice type kicking move right? Maybe she’ll learn that?

grass resists itself, so that might provide some defensive bonus depending on how the gym leader plays things. the only super effective move v grass that steenee can learn is triple axel via TM, an ice type physical attack.

given that you’re in paldea, you may want to look into having a non-water tera type for azumarill. I haven’t researched terastalizing very heavily, so I can’t advise about what tera type would be best, but I’ll lay out some options.

I do know that the STAB from a pokemon’s tera type stacks with its normal STAB, which could make its fairy type moves extremely powerful.

steel is the most defensive single type, but azumarill lacks the moveset to take advantage of a steel type STAB. on the other hand, it doesn’t share any weaknesses with azumarill, and turns its grass and poison weaknesses into a resistance and an immunity. so with a steel tera type you’d be sacrificing the offensive potential another type could give you for some incredible defense and the potential to completely change an unfavourable matchup.

I’m not clear on what exactly the process for changing a pokemon’s tera type is, so it might not be reasonable of feasible to do it right now, but I’d think about it. you also might want to take into account the order of the gyms when thinking about when to change your tera type.

have you ever tried the graveyard? make sure to pack a shovel

vullabies-and-skeledirges

some guy who calls himself a "cemetery groundskeeper" or something thinks all those skeletons belong to him. easier to find them out in the woods where nobody's using them

dr-eepy

he’s like those trainers leading up to a gym leader. defeat him in a pokemon battle

remember: ghost is weak to ghost and dark, and is immune to normal and fighting under most circumstances

I’ve never trained or battled with a disabled pokemon, so I can’t give you much advice there. keep working on teaching your azumarill battle signs, because that will help with speed and ease of communication. a lot of battling is learning how to work with your pokemon, and your pokemon learning how to work with you. battling is hard work, and takes time. make sure not to push your pokemon too hard. it can be a detriment if they’re under a lot of pressure. focus on being encouraging, and reward behaviours you want to see more of.


now for battle strategy.

bounsweet, as a grass type, is obviously a bad matchup against bug types, and it’s a similar situation with azumarill and grass. neither pokemon are known to have access to moves that change their type, so that’s off the table.
